Chapter 22: The Villain
"Yes, Lord Garrison."
A short round-faced young man stood up with a smile, looking at the wooden sign hanging from his waist, he arched his hand to Han Xu and the others, and said with a smile: "Horseback riding is not allowed in the city, so as not to disturb the place, Han General and all of you, please follow me up a few steps, fortunately, the weather is not too hot, there is a tea shop next to the warehouse, you can ask for a cup of tea to moisten your throat while you are waiting." ”
This person is very enthusiastic and can also speak, a few words Kung Fu The people around Han Xu listened and nodded, Gao Xiaosan stepped forward to talk to the plate, and after a while, the two became very familiar with each other.
After Han Xu and the others left, the young officer who had just shaken his head stepped forward and said to Mao Wenlong: "My lord was still too anxious just now, this Han Xu and we don't know each other, and it was Mr. Li who pulled it up. ”
"Hmph, Jisheng, you're right, I thought of it later." Although Mao Wenlong has been in Liaodong for many years, inherited the position of uncle, and took the martial arts examination in Liaodong, and began to make a career, but he grew up in Hangzhou, and his accent is still very heavy, he snorted coldly, and continued: "I just ordered him, I don't know if he wants to understand, although the official is only a garrison now, but in terms of enterprising, there are few people in Liao who are stronger than the official, and although Li Bingcheng uses him, he doesn't take him as a henchman at all. pushed people to Liaoyang, and didn't take it by himself, so stingy. It's a pity that this official doesn't have any extra armor weapons at hand, otherwise he would have taken them out to this person. ”
The young general who spoke was Mao Wenlong's cronies, surnamed Chen Jisheng, like Wang Fu, Zhang Pan and others, they had been following Mao Wenlong for many years. ”
Mao Wenlong had already decided in his heart that Han Xu was definitely not a thing in the pool, and he would be famous one day in the future, but he didn't say anything to Chen Jisheng anymore, only nodded and said: "What you said is, let's see, but now that Liao is like this, I am worried, I wish such a good man could be used by me." ”
……
Liaoyang City is divided into two cities in the north and south, the north city is built later, it was built in order to accommodate the Jurchen and Mongolian descendants, and later became an ordinary residential area and a place where the poor live, the same in the city is the T-shaped street dominated by Yaqian Street, there are high God Temple and Xue Palace in the south, in the middle is the Yamen of the General Soldier and the Yamen of the Deputy Chief Soldier, there are also the Yamen of each road, five of the six guards of Dingliao have official offices in the city, and the Yamen of the Capital Division is not far from the west of the Yamen of the Bingbei Road.
Jingluo Yamen is located in the original capital division yamen, next to the prison division, the left hand Wanma Temple and the sub-patrol road, to the southwest is the left guard cang, due south direction is the middle guard cang.
The garrison in the city is now slowly increasing, and the limited armor stomach is stored in several guard warehouses, these armor stomach weapons, including war horses and firearms, are all militaristic heavy weapons, and the ultimate control is in the hands of Jing Liu, even the general soldiers in the city cannot be used without authorization, Mao Wenlong looks down on Li Bingcheng The reason is this, the general soldiers do not directly allocate the armor stomach weapons to their subordinates, but ask Han Xu to come to the city to try by himself, in fact, it is to make war achievements, and nothing else is concerned, such a boss is indeed not responsible.
Han Xu also understood at this time, and he had some calculations in his heart, but fortunately, Li Bingcheng would also write a public gift to the scripture, at least there was no big problem in the formalities.
Zhang Pan is also a native of Liaoyang, but he is from a local gentry family, but his family is in the middle of the road, and he has recently recruited soldiers with good treatment, he joined the army a few months ago, he knows how to read, and his ability is good, he was mentioned by Mao Wenlong as the general flag, Zhang Pan is very alert, and he can see that Mao Wenlong is bent on accepting Han Xu, and he is selling very well, and he said while walking all the way, the situation of the garrisons of the battalions in Liaoyang City, and the general operation of the Jingluo Mansion said a lot, these things are helpful to Han Xuguo, and when he walked to the Zhongwei warehouse, Han Xu's impression of Zhang Pan was also very good.
"Mr. Han went to the official hall in the warehouse to take a look, and Chen Guerrilla sat in the hall until noon every day, and he generally didn't come in the afternoon if he had nothing to do." Zhang Pan pointed to an official hall and said softly: "Han Jiang always needs to know that Du Guerrilla loves yellow and white things. ”
"Thank you very much."
Han Xu took out more than one or two pieces of silver from his arms, stretched out his hand to hand it over, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang took it and drank tea." ”
"This silver is going to be collected, and the garrison knows that the younger brother must be dismissed." Zhang Pan smiled, took a few steps, and said goodbye.
Gao Xiaosan went to send Zhang Pan, Han Xu asked Yang Guoyong to take his own worship post, and when he arrived outside the official hall, he asked people about Chen Lun was still in the hall, Yang Guoyong took the post in, and came out after a while, but it was rumored that Han Xu went in.
Han Xu is a five-grade thousand-household, but this Chen Lun is the commander of the same knowledge, from the third-grade guerrilla, some guerrillas can also be added to the second-grade command, but it is the kind of general who has outstanding military achievements and is quite powerful, this Chen Lun is only in charge of the treasury, I don't think it belongs to the former, Han Xu took the notebook, entered the hall and took the roll call in the room, and then knelt down and saluted.
Of course, there is a sense of humiliation in kneeling like this, but this senseless psychology was immediately thrown aside by Han Xu, since he earned his life from Kaiyuan, many of the beliefs that he originally thought he would stick to for a lifetime in his life were completely abandoned, what is this humiliation in front of him?
"Oh, you're Han Xu?"
Chen Lun is a white fat officer, most of the generals in the Ming army who went into battle to kill the enemy are vulgar and unruly images, and most of the people who sit in the rear camp in Tuntian to manage the storage of ordnance and horses are white and fat, Chen Lun is a typical one, he looked at Han Xu, and showed a disapproving smile on his face, this small army, became famous in a war, from the small army directly to the general of thousands of households, it was really lucky, and it also made Chen Lun feel a little uncomfortable.
He raised his hand and said, "Mr. Han, please get up." ”
Han Xu got up and thanked him, and Chen Lun said, "The letter from General Li that you took, as well as the official documents, are all known." However, there are not too many ordnance here in Zhongwei Cang now, there are many, and several general soldiers have already robbed them, which turn is your turn to lead the general? replied to Mr. Li on behalf of the officer, and said he was sorry. ”
Han Xu said: "Lord Chen, the lower official is a sharp whistle who does not accept it at night, and the responsibility is extremely heavy, please be accommodating." ”
He gestured slightly to Yang Guoyong, who was standing below, and Yang Guoyong hurriedly stepped forward and put a small package on the table.
Chen Lun looked at it and saw that there were only a few dozen taels of silver, and he was suddenly unhappy in his heart.
He knew that Han Xu and the others had won a reward of five or six hundred taels of silver, and he planned to knock at least one hundred taels or more to get it, if these dozens of taels were given by others, he could also accept them and give them some armor, but this Han Xu was very rich and couldn't let it go easily.
At that moment, Chen Lun's face changed, threw the small bag back, and said angrily: "Is Han General the official a beggar?" Tell you the truth, "Forty collars of armor and helmets, belts, swords and spears, and so on, and five hundred pieces of silver, and nothing of silver, nothing." ”
